T.R.I.P. – The Road to International Passages — is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to benefit inner-city youth and underprivileged kids between the ages of 11 and 14 years old. Both historically and presently, underprivileged youth do not have the financial means to travel abroad due to their family’s limited financial and social resources. In T.R.I.P., youth will be able to study and explore a plethora of different cultures through a multi-faceted curriculum designed to incorporate language, world culture, history, current events, and financial numeracy. Each summer, the students will have the opportunity to research, through inquiry-based projects, and travel to a foreign country through a sponsorship provided through our organization. T.R.I.P.’s vision is to both advocate for, and assure, youth are exposed to the history, demographics, local currency, and beauty of many different cultures of the world in an effort to broaden each student’s individual worldview.
